Bill and I decided to spend the day at the beach yesterday.
It has been 6 months since we went to see the ocean!
How does that happen....?
I did a lot of knitting, since the physical pains wouldn't allow a beach walk.
It was nice to just sit and soak up the mild sun
and yet not be too hot because of the warm ocean breeze.
(83* air and the water was still 77*)
I was surprised by this neat sight-how beautiful and calm the horses were
even with the waves pounding right next to them!
(the waves were 4-6' high)
While I miss seeing the Canadian geese fly in their V formation,
I did enjoy the many brown pelicans that flew overhead the same way!
We stayed right at Crescent Beach all day-
I had made us sandwiches so we nibbled
as the urge struck and savored the day.
Bill did some fishing and fed the crabs mostly....
He threw the bits the crabs left on the hook to the little terns
who gobbled them up pretty quickly.
It wasn't until evening that his patience paid off;
He caught a mullet!
We stayed until dark;
the sun set behind us yet still reflected beautifully on the clouds in the eastern horizon.
What a perfect day.
How fun to stay until dark! Looks like a wonderfully relaxing day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a day!!! That's the cure for what ails you for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteOooh, my kind of day! I love the sound of the waves.
ReplyDeleteSounds simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteOh my! It sounds so perfect. That has always been our dream...to live close to the ocean. It's about an 8 hour drive for us to get to the nearest beach in Oregon. Thank you for taking me with you this morning. It also seems strange to think of the sun setting BEHIND you when you're at the beach since I'm usually on the west coast!
